Answer 1

What an amazing picture. I love the colors - classic victorian. Looks like it may be a postcard.  

The people sitting on the old porch, with the y-slants below the roof, make it easy to date this picture to the early 1800s.

Love the porch railing, and the horse hitches in front.

Such a nice time period picture.

Thank you for posting.
